this is bbc news, the headlines. the government says it will introduce emergency legislation over early release for terror offences following the attack on shoppers in south london. the man was shot dead by police yesterday afternoon and had only recently been freed from prison after serving half of his sentence for terrorism offences. we face an unprecedented situation of severe gravity and as such we need a government response immediately and this legislation will also apply to serving prisoners. boris johnson says britain will not bind itself to eu rules to get a trade deal by the

end of the year. in america, democratic presidential candidates going head—to—head in iowa as the first event to decide the party's final nominee gets under way. is the of those who benefit from a system of those who benefit from a system of oppression to be the ones who dismantle it. the baftas are criticised for a lack of diversity as all nominees were white and no women were put forward for best director for the seventh year running.

the government has announced emergency legislation in response to the attack in south london yesterday by sudesh amman — who'd just been released early from his prison sentence for terror offences. the government intends to rush through a change to the law to end the current automatic release from prison for terror offenders half way through their sentences. maximum terror sentences may be increased and prisoner releases will have to be approved by the parole board. but will this be enough to keep us all safe? our home editor mark easton takes a look. they knew he was extremely dangerous, but the law said they could not hold him. sudesh amman's sentence meant he had to be released last month despite police and security services feared he posed a very significant risk to public safety. i would like to make a statement about the senseless and horrific terror attack in streatham. this evening, the government announced emergency legislation that would keep new and existing terror offenders in prison for longer and

with tougher controls on release. the dangerous extremists could still not be locked up indefinitely. at the earliest point at which these offenders will now be considered for release will be once they have served two thirds of their sentence and crucially, we will introduce a requirement that no terrorist offender will be released before the end of their full custodial term, unless the parole board agrees. only two months ago, another released terrorist offender, usman khan, stabbed five people, murdering two of them at fishmongers hall on london bridge. the prime minister demanded a review of the conditions imposed on every convicted terrorist release from prison, including presumably, sudesh amman. there are currently at least 7a people who were jailed for terror offenses and subsequently freed on licence.

there are also 224 people convicted of terrorism offenses in prison in britain, most of whom must be released at the end of their custodial sentence. the challenge is not a new one. in 2005, the then labour in government introduced imprisonment for public protection, indefinite sentences specifically designed to keep highly dangerous people like sudesh amman locked up. but then in 2012, a conservative prime minister got rid of them sentences after warnings the prison system didn't have the resources to cope. judges haven't got the powers to give the right sentences for those convicted of terror offenses. they are not being reformed in prison, they are being radicalised are made worse and then released on the streets of london with under resourced police. some argue keeping a person injail with no defined release date goes against the principles of fairjustice. in many countries, including the us, indefinite imprisonment for anything but the most serious of crimes, is considered a breach of rights.

there will be for some whose ideology is bullet—proof and there is no way we can get inside that. if there are people determined not to accept any intervention that will change that toxic mindset, yes they should be prison and if necessary, indefinitely. we have been over this ground before, searching for a way to balance the rights of the public to be kept safe against the human rights of those dealt with by the courts. the government may find even today's proposals will come under legal challenge. exactly what happened during yesterday's attack in streatham has become clearer. it began at 13:56 yesterday afternoon, when sudesh amman grabbed a knife from a shop on the high street. 2 minutes later, he stabbed his first victim outside the white lion pub.

seconds later, he stabbed another person outside cash converters. within two minutes, police shot amman dead on the high street. and four minutes after the victims were stabbed, medics arrived on the scene. today, the police have been searching a hostel where amman had been staying. here's our special correspondent lucy manning. this unfortunately is not the first time. the high street, forensic teams, police investigating an attack, a former prisoner using his freedom to try and kill. yesterday, it was streatham. plainclothed officers, guns drawn, have shot a man after he steals a knife and start stabbing others. they have had sudesh amman under surveillance, so more officers quickly arrive, one on a motorbike. one of the armed officers approaches him as he lies on the ground wearing

a fake suicide vest. "get back," they shout. a surveillance officer uses his armed colleagues for cover. they start to clear the street. people rush to help the injured, blood on the pavement. start moving backwards, very quickly please. a man and a woman were stabbed, both are recovering. a shopkeeper was running out and shouting he had stolen something. then it happened really quickly, lots of people running and then we heard three bangs. i heard two shots. i noticed the policemen had guns on them. the third police officer was next to his side and then fired one more shot and that is when the guy dropped on the floor. when he dropped, he was trying to move his hand to reach out for something. when i looked closely there was something strapped to his chest,

like a silver canister. i saw a trail of blood that was leading to a middle—aged man who was on the floor bleeding. i knew that i had got a blanket in my bag. i pulled it out and we used that to stem the bleeding. and all i could think was, he is going to die in the middle of the street. sudesh amman had only been released from prison ten days ago, automatically let out halfway through his three—year sentence for terrorism offenses. he pledged allegiance to islamic state and had manuals about knife attacks. amman lived at this bail hostel around a mile from the attack. because he was under active counterterror surveillance, the authorities thought he was possibly one of the most dangerous people in the country, so why was he living behind these gates, rather than behind bars? officers searched the hostel, removing evidence. the police stopped this attack but how will the

politicians prevent it? new emergency laws. de—radicalising people is a very, very difficult thing to do. there is a big psychological barrier that people find it hard to get back over. and that's why i stress the importance of the custodial option. and that is why i have come to the end of my patience with the idea of automatic early release. they are let out of prison, but the public is not out of danger. our special correspondent lucy manning reporting there. joining us now is steve hulmes, who lives in streatham and saw the aftermath of the attack yesterday. thanks forjoining us. when did you first know there had been this terrorist incident? 0k, first know there had been this terrorist incident? ok, so there was a helicopter flying above terrorist incident? ok, so there was a helicopterflying above my terrorist incident? ok, so there was a helicopter flying above my house from about 2pm and after about 20

minutes it hadn't gone away so i thought this was strange. i put the television on. i think you guys were showing antiques road show. i went on to twitter and they said there was a stabbing in streatham. that was a stabbing in streatham. that was 2:20pm sol was a stabbing in streatham. that was 2:20pm so i went out to see what was 2:20pm so i went out to see what was happening and i caught the aftermath. i saw the body and i saw the police. that was about 2:20pm. it was pretty chaotic. what was going through your mind when you saw that? yeah, interesting. initiallyi thought, a stabbing in london, you get used to that but very quickly because of the level of police activity it started to circulate and after several minutes people said it was a terrorist attack, notjust a one on one knife crime thing. after two or three minutes it was pretty obvious. the level of police presence as well, there were loads

of police cars. it was pretty clear that it was more than just an isolated knife incident. anti-4 hours later, now you know exactly what it was, you know that it had been a police surveillance operation and undercover police shot him after he stabbed a couple of people, what do you think about it now? —— 2a hours later. last night i was ok, i guess there was adrenaline but they i woke guess there was adrenaline but they iwoke up guess there was adrenaline but they i woke up and today was the scary thing. when you see your hometown deserted and you're going to have to go on deserted and you're going to have to goona deserted and you're going to have to go on a packed train. today it really hit me. you go into the narrative, if this guy was dangerous, why was he released and why was he surveilled? i think it's been scary for me today, more than yesterday. i suppose the fact that he was being followed by armed police meant that he couldn't carry

out any more attacks than he did. they apprehended him pretty quickly. imagine if the police weren't following him, it could have been an absolute bloodbath. to sound like a right—winger, but he should be locked up. the thing that gets me, he went into a shop and grabbed a knife, which i'm presuming is a hardware store. i'm guessing he went in there to grab a knife but he was also wearing a pretend suicide vest as well. what was he planning to do? waive the belt around? lots of questions to be answered. there certainly are and we'll be talking to some experts late in the programme about it.

the stage has been set for the next round of negotiations with the eu — establishing a new trade deal. britain is remaining aligned with eu rules for now — but only until the end of this year. then the transition phase will end. borisjohnson insists the uk won't follow eu rules after that. the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier says that the eu wants a close trading relationship with the uk, but will not accept britain having ‘unfair competitive adva ntages‘.

both men have been speaking today, here's a flavour of what they had to say. we are embarked now on a great voyage. we are ready to offer a trade deal... the uk will maintain the highest standards in these areas, better, in many respects, those of the eu without the compulsion of a treaty. the more we have common standards, the higher quality access the eu will be able to offer. the question is whether we will reach a trading relationship with the eu comparable to ca nada's or australia's. the uk's answer to these questions, the key questions will be fundamental for the level of our future relationship. our political correspondent

nick eardley is in westminster. michel barnier and boris johnson speaking earlier. let's get some analysis now. on the face of it the two men are miles and miles apart. is this just tough talk, rhetoric head of the negotiations? that's a big part of it, i think. you'd expect both sides to say exactly what they want in an ideal world. what i think is most interesting from today is that borisjohnson is already saying, here's some things we already saying, here's some things we might have to accept if we are going to achieve our goal in this. the prime minister has been absolutely clear that he doesn't think the uk should have to follow european rules when it comes to things like competition and state aid in various forms and standards. that's important because the less the uk is willing to follow some of europe's rules, the less likely it

is that you'll get a fully comprehensive trade deal. yes, boris johnson talking about canada, but thatis johnson talking about canada, but that is on the other side of the world. people are worried that britain could be a big competitor on its doorstep just over the channel from france, potentially undercutting in some areas. boris johnson is saying in some areas that we johnson is saying in some areas that we won't accept that. the challenge over the next few months is going to be figuring out whether there is room for compromise, whether the two sides can figure out some of those differences to get the free trade deal. the prime minister absolutely clear that if that can't be figured out he's happy to walk away with what he calls an australian style deal which is pretty much no deal at all because australia's free trade agreement with the eu still being worked out. areas where they have a reciprocal trade agreement are a few and far between. people in the

brexit debate have always argued that the eu needs a deal, the germans, for instance, need to sell their cars germans, for instance, need to sell theircars in germans, for instance, need to sell their cars in the uk and that ultimately they will accept whatever it takes to get a trade deal. and you know what, they may be right. that's one of the big trade—offs over the next few months. there a lwa ys over the next few months. there always been, right through the debate, an issue of europe wanting to maintain its economic and political integrity. i think that will frankly come back into it again. europe is doing whatever it needs just to make sure that the german car market still has the access that it needs. likewise boris johnson is a brexiteer. how many times have we seen him outlining his vision for what the different relationship should be after brexit? he's going to stick to his guns on this as well. we really saw some fighting talk from both sides. the

other thing to watch out for is fish. not a huge part of the uk economy but one of those political bellwethers when it comes to the relationship with europe. boris johnson saying today that british waters have to become principally for british fishermen once again. europe saying we need reciprocal access to waters as we've had before if we are going to agree to some sort of wide—ranging free—trade agreement. none of this is new. we knew that these were going to be some of the stumbling blocks. you got the tone today. only a few months to sort it out. the big question is going to be the extent to which both sides stick to their guns or whether they can find room for compromise, as they did in the end when it came to the withdrawal agreement. thanks very much indeed. the headlines on bbc news... the government says it will introduce emergency legislation over

the early release for terror offences following the attack on shoppers in south london yesterday by 20—year—old sudesh amman. boris johnson says britain won't bind itself to eu rules to get a trade deal by the end of the year. in america, democratic presidential candidates are going head—to—head in iowa is the first event to decide the party's final nominee gets under way. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, preparing for the first of 350 over preparing for the first of 350 over matches against south africa, starting in cape town, he says he's happy leading the side the moment. i

think when i've made the decision to continue on, history suggests that decision, whether you like it or not, is taken out of your hands. my mind is set on the next two t20 world cup. if i make it to the 50 over world cup that would be great. finn russell were sent home before the tournament for breaching team protocol in a drinking session. he's been kept out of the squad to face england against murrayfield. hastings starting in his place for the defeat against ireland. adding hastings was good, good enough to merit being picked again. if finn russell isn't starting, it may make a big impact from the bench but the media being around, and y disrupt a positive field, albeit in defeat? my

a nswer positive field, albeit in defeat? my a nswer to positive field, albeit in defeat? my answer to the question on saturday, sunday was to bring him in one week before the italy game and embed him back into the squad, if that's going to happen at all. shaun wane has been confirmed as the new head coach of the england rugby league team. he'll be leading the squad against australia and in the world cup. he took wigan to three super league grand final victories. he says he's returning to league a better coach than when he left. the international game is similar but different in many ways. i'd looked at the nfl. i'm trying to get better every minute of everyday. i used that time and it's going to make me a better coach. the main thing is making sure my players are working. there are some areas where in preparation, tea m some areas where in preparation, team preparation and training preparation where i can do things

differently which will make me better. liverpool held their usual pre—match press conference ahead of their fa cup replay with shrewsbury town tomorrow. big difference was the absence of the usual manager. jurgen klopp and most of the team are taking some time off. the under 23 boss neal critchley is going to ta ke 23 boss neal critchley is going to takejurgen 23 boss neal critchley is going to take jurgen klopp's spot 23 boss neal critchley is going to takejurgen klopp's spot on the touchline. supporting the players unbelievably well, as he's shown this season. his presence, even if he isn't there, his presence is a lwa ys he isn't there, his presence is always felt by our younger players and by me. i also think that maybe 196 and by me. i also think that maybe i% that came into his thinking around his decision, the way we played against aston villa, he may be thought that the boys deserved another opportunity. be thought that the boys deserved another opportunitylj be thought that the boys deserved another opportunity. i will have more on those stories in sportsday

at10:30pm. the 2020 race for the white house starts in earnest tonight, as voters in the us state of iowa choose who they want to be the democrats' candidate in november's presidential election. known as the iowa caucuses, the vote begins a state—by—state selection process. polls suggest the veteran senator, bernie sanders, holds a narrow lead over the former vice—president, joe biden. gary o'donogue reports from the state capital, des moines. iowa is one of the most rural and whitest states in america but since the turn—of—the—century the democrat who has won here has gone on to become the party's presidential nominee. the next president of the united states... the front runner is a 78—year—old senator, feted like a p0p a 78—year—old senator, feted like a pop idol, by the young. bernie

sanders is a one—time socialist who believes radicalism is the only way to defeat donald trump. a political revolution of the left. no other candidate in iowa has pulled a crowd as big as this. let us go forward together. let us defeat donald trump. let us transform this country. the former vice president joe biden is a different kind of candidate, easy listening moderation that appeals especially to the old. eight years of donald trump can fundamentally change who we are, in a significant way. he's an uninspiring speaker but comes alive when face—to—face. uninspiring speaker but comes alive when face-to-face. great to see you. genial, empathetic, he thinks that likeability means electability and he's selling himself as the candidate best able to beat president trump. a quick word with the bbc? senator elizabeth warren

was at the trial of donald trump and is keen to make up for lost campaigning time. sees another candidate of the another woman trying to shut at the most resilient glass ceiling in politics. this moment is our moment to dream big and fight hard and win. pete buttigieg wants to become america's first openly gay occupant of the white house. he's the youngest candidate the race. for the last six yea rs, candidate the race. for the last six years, moderate democrats have made it to the white house. kennedy, johnson, carter, clinton and obama. but in these trace political times where normal rules don't seem to apply. where normal rules don't seem to apply, will the voters here opt for the radicalism of bernie sanders? it's a battle for the soul of the party over who is the best candidate to beat donald trump.

let's just show you the scene in iowa now, with that campaigning under way. that's the campaign bus ofjoe biden, the former vice president. as we were hearing from nick briant, this is a pretty critical stage of the early fighting, skirmishing, if you like, head of the 2020 presidential elections. iowa is always crucial. let's speak to gary who's in des moines. what's your reading of how iowa might go on this? well, it's pretty close. very close. four candidates within seven, eight percentage points of one another. that frankly means in terms of predictability, any of them could win. bernie sanders, the self—proclaimed democratic socialist and another on

the left, elizabeth warren, in the senate, joe biden and also the new kid on the block, pete buttigieg from indiana, the young guy who has really burst onto the scene. any of those could really win tonight. it depends largely on the tyne at. a higher turnout is likely to help people like bernie sanders, especially because he attracts so much support in the under 35 age range. he really outstrips the others massively in that age range. if he gets those youngsters out to vote he has a good chance of doing pretty well. i know that iowa has legendary status in american elections. how important is it to win itand elections. how important is it to win it and if you don't win, how much of a disappointment is that and a setback for the candidate? they say that you really can't lose... you can't really win the presidency on the nomination in iowa but you

can probably lose it. there are numbers if you like, 55% chance of going on to get the nomination if you win iowa, but there aren't many exa m ples you win iowa, but there aren't many examples in the modern era to base that figure on. it's very important in terms of momentum, in terms of what they called the narrative nowadays. in terms of the delegate count it is i% of the democratic candidates overall. but it can push you forward, put you in people's mines for the primaries in new hampshire and south carolina in particular. it can also kill you off, frankly, it can dry up your donor base if you don't do well here, and if you fade away no one is interested. some of the candidates, especially people like pete buttigieg and may be amy klobuchar, those further down the list, this really is make or break. if they don't do well, even if they don't win, there can disease will be in trouble i think. and the wider

scheme of things —— then their candidacies will be in trouble. in terms of donald trump, what do the opinion polls say about which candidate would be best equipped and most likely to take him on successfully, to beat him? as you can imagine there's a lot of cherry picking going on around the poles, these match ups with donald trump. certainlyjoe biden's campaign believe some of those key battle ground states, their candidate does best against donald trump. thinking about what we used to call the blue wall, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, the states that donald trump won last time round that democrats relied on getting, and places like pennsylvania, joe biden will feel he has a good chance there. it's a long time until the general election. it's true to say that while everyone is concerned with who can beat the opponent, this

time around that is very big in people's minds. they fear and hate donald trump, these democrats and they really want someone who can ta ke they really want someone who can take him on properly in november. good to talk to you, thank you. watching the iowa caucuses there. looks pretty snowy in iowa, not surprisingly. let's look at the weather here. the wind is going to be the main hazard this evening and overnight and into tuesday morning. notjust scotla nd and into tuesday morning. notjust scotland but here will see the strongest wind, in excess of 70 mph those gusts, coupled with lively showers, hail and thunder and snow over the mountains. blizzard conditions. something wintry over northern ireland. a smattering of snow across the pennines as well. with the wind escalating here and further south, a buffeting on the faster routes. the wind should mean that we mostly escape frost although they will be a few localities with

wintry showers. not the best rush—hour on tuesday morning but improving through the day. a windy start with lots of showers rushing southwards around an area of low pressure but they should ease in the west, as should the wind late in the day but feeling quite cold, especially in the wind. more online.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the government says it will introduce emergency legislation over early release for terror offences, following an attack on shoppers in south london by 20—year—old sudesh amman. amman was shot dead at the scene by armed police, and had only recently been freed from prison, after serving half of his sentence for terrorism offences. we face an unprecedented situation of gravity, and that this legislation will therefore also apply to serving prisoners. borisjohnson says britain won't bind itself to eu rules in order to get a trade deal by the end of the year. in the united states, democrat presidential candidates go head—to—head in iowa, as the first event to decide the party's final nominee gets under way.

since the government announced emergency legislation in response to the attack in south london yesterday by sudesh amman, the vast majority are in china in the city of wuhan. there is growing concern the authorities there are struggling with the scale of the outbreak despite a few dumb i push towards with the new hospital. —— push to building new hospitals. the majority of. in a wuhan hospital, a group of nurses and patients are singing a famous patriotic anthem. "my motherland and i," they sing, "are never apart." the propaganda message is not difficult to understand. in china state media, the focus now is

on the fight to beat the virus. hundreds of military doctors and nurses have been arriving in wuhan to join the battle. "when our country is in difficulty," this female soldier says, "it is our duty to be on the front line." china's logistical capabilities are beyond dispute. which other country could complete a 1000—bed hospital in less than two weeks? today, that is exactly what happened as the first patients arrived. but there is an ugly side to this all out fight against the virus. the man on the ground has been caught without a facemask. "why don't you wear one?" shouts the policeman. "spray him with disinfectant." in another video posted on social media, the whole family is being forcibly removed from their home to await an ambulance. there are now many videos like this with police locking suspected carriers in their homes.

"do you have enough rice?" the policeman asks. "ok, we're locking the door." here, the police are warning a resident who has posted something about the virus on social media. sharing any information about the virus is illegal, he tells him. scenes like those can be found now right across social media, and they're really feeling the sense of anxiety and fear about the coronavirus spreading around the world, but nowhere more so than here in hong kong. people here simply do not believe they are getting a realistic picture of what is happening in wuhan and central china. hong kong's chief executive today ordered more border crossings closed, and said some must remain open. there were indeed more hong kong people crossing the border almost on a daily basis and then they have to come back. buy that was not good enough for these hospital workers

who have now voted to strike until the water shut. experts say shutting border is far too late. because of the efficiency, it would have already spread beyond the province i think. so you actually, it's not just about reaction, it's about prevention. fear is even more contagious than the virus. this was the centre of shanghai today, china's biggest city in economic heart. when the bill comes in for this, it's going to be huge. here, some people of chinese heritage say they're being subjected to a racist backlash after the outbreak of the coronavirus. resturants in london's chinatown say they have seen a drop in business, while children have been bullied at school, and there's fear that as the virus spreads, the xenophobia could become worse.

here's caroline davies. hazard suits, face packs, quarantine. —— face masks. in london, there have been no cases. instead, it's fear, misinformation and prejudice that having an impact on londoners. last week my daughter came home. she was upset, she said that basically, people at school we re that basically, people at school were told to —— took to stay away from chinese children because they are infected with a virus and it makes us feel kind of alienated. it makes us feel kind of alienated. it makes us feel vulnerable and i did experience racism my whole life, but this definitely feels different. it feels more full—blown. this definitely feels different. it feels more full-blown. far more people have been affected with racism connected by the virus. my

mum was my friend was sitting on the tube, and a lady opposite her pointed to her and shouted profanity at herand said pointed to her and shouted profanity at her and said "you are the chinese flew. " he has been helping his mother who has experience mitch bullying by friends and community. two as the virus because were serious, and also racism will always be in our community. we do need people defending the victims who may not be able to speak english flue ntly not be able to speak english fluently enough to defend himself. it also affects business. dumplings legend in chinatown has seen a dramatic drop in the number of customers which they think is because of the virus. previously reese would have about 100 people, now we have may be 50. probably less. but concern is if the virus continues to spread, so will

xenophobia. since the government announced emergency legislation in response to the attack in south london yesterday by sudesh amman, the justice secretary robert buckland has been speaking about the need the protect the public. we've been increasing counterterrorism funding year on year, and i return to the point that those responsible for terrorist offences have nobody to blame but themselves and therefore, the government has to take swift and resolute action when it comes to the need to protect the public and keep our streets safe. joining us now is hanif oadir, the author of preventing & countering extremism & terrorist recruitment: a best practice guide. he has also worked as an adviser to the uk government on rehabilitation and reintegration.

what do you think of what the government is saying, emergency legislation to stop this happening ain? legislation to stop this happening again? i think the government have got to say —— we've got three months and had no legislation put into place and all of a sudden we have to get rid —— i think it's a dirtyjerk reaction and it's a display that the government doesn't know what they're doing. if they really want to be put —— put people's lives at risk but if you want to safeguard our national interest, we have to have robust measures interest, we have to have robust measures put in place like we had previously. we have the right kind of expertise, we had the commitment and the appetite to create change. extending the business is not going to make a difference. look at this young man who went in as an

extremist. if you prolong the sentences, he's going to come out at one point and you're gonna have the same kind of result. we haven't got any effective integration and the radicalisation programmes in prison, we radicalisation programmes in prison, we haven't got any effective community—based programmes to prevent individuals from the coming extreme, so these new ledge lesions, to be quite frank, i think they're gonna fall quite short. what would you suggest because you say, people seem to be becoming more and more radicalised in prison, may be becoming more extreme the longer they are in prison, so that is obviously alarming, but the radicalisation programmes don't appear to be working.|j radicalisation programmes don't appear to be working. i beg to differ. if we go back to the time where i worked with the government and the probation within the prison, i worked with someone from the central extremism using it. —— unit.

we work with terrorist offenders and reintegrated quite a few and the ones that we couldn't, wouldn't back to prison. so there are many suggestions we could give the government. —— went back to prison. i'm open to have that discussion, i'm open to have that discussion, i'm just saying let's go back and look at some of the models that worked and without reinventing the wheel that was already working fine, let's go back to that. on the government doesn't like travelling backward sometimes even though it makes sense to go back to what we did which was successful. there can cause harm to people's lives so i suggest the government be open to some kind of debate and discussion some kind of debate and discussion so we can some kind of debate and discussion so we can put together, work with them to put together an effective model in place to save and protect people's lives and if it means keeping people in prison, for longer

terms, let's do that. let's look at it with much more sensitivity without coming up with a knee jerk reaction stop. i'm sure people would agree with or assumption that if —— borisjohnson agree with or assumption that if —— boris johnson that agree with or assumption that if —— borisjohnson that if agree with or assumption that if —— boris johnson that if we agree with or assumption that if —— borisjohnson that if we didn't have the attack at fishmonger ‘s hole on london bridge we wouldn't have had this attack yesterday.|j london bridge we wouldn't have had this attack yesterday. i beg to differ. that has been going on for quite a while. prisoners come out on licence and we been dealing with those kind of individuals for a number of years. we have no problem before. what i'm trying to say, people will agree with what boris johnson says because people are none the wiser. borisjohnson and his government knows the successes we've celebrated over the years, so when they say that they haven't got any evidence for that, i say go back

into your archives, you will find that you'll have the details of all the individuals that we've worked with, rehabilitated, reintegrated and the ones i have it have gone back to prison. the evidence is there so i disagree with his idea or a statement that it doesn't work and the notion —— the people are none the notion —— the people are none the wiser about how to deal with these kinds of individuals. let's talk to the experts that existed for many, talk to the experts that existed for any talk to the experts that existed for many, many years and made strides in tackling this problem. maybe not work with them but get some advice for them. what's the best way going forward without coming out with a 2k hour emergency response and saying we hour emergency response and saying we would sit in the turn to prison. that's not a sensible option. that's not the way forward. this is a long—term problem and we need to have short, medium and long—term plans that will be effective to

protect our community. thank you very much of deed. —— indeed. officials at downing street have ordered seniorjournalists from some of the uk's major news organisations to leave a briefing on borisjohnson's brexit plans, prompting a walkout by colleagues across the media. reporters from the daily mirror, the i, huffpost uk and the independent were told they couldn't attend. correspondents from the bbc, itv, sky news and major newspapers left in protest. a number ten source said it reserved the right to choose which journalists it briefed, whenever it wished to. let's talk about that. don foster joins me now from south london. what do you make of this, quite a row.

downing street sticking to their guns, they can bring whoever they want. if they don't want some journalist then they won't have them. they really trying to see exactly how they can get away with it, so during the general election that was critical stories and now that was critical stories and now that they're in power, they are to see exactly what they can get away with and so today the journalists got over and told the people —— they then told the people there independent and they were allowing to bring them. i think they expected journalist to go in and listen to the briefing and send some tweets maybe, but the general public

wouldn't care much about it. the journalists who did walk out were right to walk out —— you can't withhold information purely for propaganda purposes so i think it's trying to see exactly what they can get away with and just discover they can't get away with it. apparently what number ten have been saying is that this was a smaller selective briefing for specialists senior journalists and that a number of uninvited journalists had barged in and demanded to be part of it. they kinda weren't invited in first place. i think that's honest, if you have been a briefing about the brexit deal, journalist have a right to be there and listen to it. all the journalists who were invited

into the briefing left. —— left it's essentially number ten trying to come out with the right they hope will stick after the fact. what they we re will stick after the fact. what they were trying to do was try and keep journalists out while allowing seniorjournalists. it was discovered very quickly that other journalists weren't happy with this and said this was unacceptable,. thank you very much indeed. a un flight, carrying critically ill patients, has left yemen, heading forjordan and egypt.

it's a major breakthrough, after two years of difficult negotiations between the saudi led coalition, which controls the airspace, and houthi authorities, in charge across northern yemen. if all goes as planned, a total of 30 patients and their carers, will fly from the international airport in sana'a to amman and cairo over the next few weeks. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet sent this report from the yemeni capital sana'a. saying goodbye after months of waiting and a hotel in sana'a. critically ill children and their parents, now, at last heading to the airport to take them for the life—saving treatment they so badly need. it's taken two years of tough negotiations to reach this point. this airfield is controlled by the houthis. the airspace is controlled by the saudi led coalition. in the midst of these warring sides, are caught the littlest and most vulnerable.

the baftas were held in london last night, but the biggest talking point wasn't who picked up the awards, but the lack of diversity amongst the nominees. all 20 acting nominees were white, and no female directors were put forward for the seventh consecutive year. joaquin phoenix was praised for using his best actor acceptance speech to call for change. this report by our arts editor will gompertz contains flashing images. if there was any doubt that the lack of diversity in this year's bafta nominations was a significant issue, thenjoaquin phoenix made it absolutely clear it was when he picked up his award for best actor. i think that we send a very clear message to people of colour that you are not welcome here. we really have to do the hard work to truly understand systemic racism. i think it is the obligation of the people that have created and perpetuate and benefit

from a system of oppression to be the ones that dismantle it — so that's on us. that can't happen soon enough for the director behind this critically acclaimed documentary film. a real change needs to happen. a real, fundamental, earth—shifting change that the people who are in positions of power in the voting or the organisation of the baftas need to have a real hard look at themselves and think, do we have everybody that represents the people who are in the nation? are you a member of bafta? unfortunately not. why not? i applied but for some reason i got rejected. you're looking at bafta's headquarters in london, which — as you can see — is having a major overhaul. along with that, its annualfilm awards. the voting system for which currently, as it stands, does not require all those judging or nominating in the main categories — say, the acting

categories, for example — to have actually watched all the eligible films. maybe that will change after prince william — bafta's president — made his feelings known last night. we find ourselves talking again about the need to do more to ensure diversity in this sector and in the awards process. bafta take this issue seriously and following this year's nominations have launched a full and thorough review of the entire awards process. it's notjust the bafta bosses under pressure. the oscars also been criticised for an all—male director shortlist and only having one non—white performer across all acting categories. you can expect to hear more about that when the golden statues are handed out in hollywood on sunday. will gompertz, bbc news. let's speak now to the actress and disability campaigner melissa johns, who's a member of the bafta elevate scheme, which aims to promote actors from under—represented groups.

thanks for being with us. we've heard set out very eloquently by various people last night at the awards what the problem is, what can be done about it, what is being done about it. after creating fantastic schemes, it's a chance for actors from underrepresented groups to be given opportunities to network, which is fantastic. the next step is i guess, we need to see sort of directors influences. they have to be sort of resulting in unfolding really. is the problem with bafta or the film industry, not using these people in roles in their movies and in theirtv people in roles in their movies and in their tv shows? is that more the problem rather than bafta?

absolutely. i think laces like bafta and other ceremonies are the purpose exa m and other ceremonies are the purpose exam “— and other ceremonies are the purpose exam —— the perfect example of organisations that highlight the bigger problem in the bigger problem here is that those fantastic films and fantastic characters that were a lwa ys and fantastic characters that were always going to be sort of award—winning characters i guess, there is the issue that they don't disabled actors and other actors weren't seen or cast in those parts so award ceremonies are fantastic for highlighting the issue we have. and we heard a lot of powerful people in the industry say this is a problem. people like joaquin phoenix, we've heard directors talking about it too, but surely it's in their gift, isn't it? they're the big names in the industry. could they not change it? absolutely. they said such contact

is -- absolutely. they said such contact is —— fantastic things and it's about transferring words into actions. we know that the small changes are starting to happen. small seeds are starting to be planted and that's why we have to fight harder than ever now because we are fight harder than ever now because we arejust fight harder than ever now because we are just scratching the surface and we have to remember that it's fighting for our place that's going to make that mark as it is, so now isa time to make that mark as it is, so now is a time to fight even harder. so that it keeps driving forward. thank you melissa. a member of the bafta scheme which tries to promote actors from underrepresented groups. all new mums in london now have the right to be seen by a specialist nhs team to help women struggling with their mental health both during and after pregnancy. up untiljanuary, support had been patchy with nearly half of england's health trusts not offering any at all. it's hoped the service will benefit

at least 66,000 women each year. anna williamson has first hand experience of the service. with the birth of my first child, enzo, i suffered with severe anxiety and ill mental health. but this time round, and with eight weeks to go, thankfully, i'm in a much better place. the key difference has been the support and care of a new dedicated to perinatal mental health team — something that didn't exist in my first pregnancy. you can really make out some of the details, can't you... five years ago, 40% of new mothers had no access to specialist mental health care. now everyone in england has a dedicated team in her area. i think we are a vital service. if perinatal mental health problems go untreated for a long period, it can have a really negative impact on mum and on the baby's development throughout the rest of his or her life.

with one in five of us women experiencing mental health issues in pregnancy and post birth, services like this really are vital. claire has been supported by her perinatal mental health team since early pregnancy. i felt terribly anxious that my baby was going to die, so that was the main concern. i think because i had previous miscarriages. claire was seriously unwell. the perinatal mental health team were absolutely amazing, they were fantastic, they looked after me. the nurses that came to see me and the medication that was provided saved my life. and my baby's life. support for perinatal mental health has definitely improved in terms of finances and betterjoined up services, putting the mother and the family more at the centre of things. at detecting women that need help and support remains difficult. in mental health, we don't have a blood test that tells us how people are. ultimately, if they don't

tell us, it's very hard. the stigma of mental health is still a big reason that women don't come forward. research carried out by the nct and netmums shows that many new mothers are too embarrassed or afraid ofjudgment to seek help. guilt is a big part of how you feel and just a shame, really. it's now been three weeks since the birth of my beautiful daughter eleonora, and i have to say that this time round it has been a completely different experience. it really is vital that the nhs understand and realise that women's mental health isjust as important as their physical health. anna williamson, bbc london. now time for a look at the weather. the win will be the main hazard if you're travelling this evening. not just for scotland but here we will

see the strongest of the winds in excessive 70 miles an hour. those gusts coupled with some very lively showers, hail ‘s thunder and snow. we will see something wintry across northern ireland. we will see a smattering of snow settling across the pennines as well so with the winds escalating here and further south, clearly you'll get —— the wind should mean we escape cross with some icy passages as well. not the best rush hour on tuesday morning. a very windy start, with lots of showers rushing southwards down there but then those of showers should ease from the west as should the winds later in the day. it will feel quite chilly, particularly with that brisk wind.
